From missed Bitcoin opportunity to AI innovation

“I saw Bitcoin back in 2012—biggest regret of my life.” David, co-founder of Neurahub, didn’t take the plunge back then. But today, he’s making up for it.

His latest project merges AI and crypto into a powerful, decentralized platform where users can generate text, images, and soon, entire applications—changing how we interact with technology.

Neurahub’s multi-modal AI platform is designed to bring artificial intelligence and blockchain together, offering a creative experience with crypto-backed payments. Launched in March 2024, the startup is leveraging web3’s flexibility to drive down costs while unlocking new possibilities for users.

"Multi-modal is being able to do many things in one place," David told The Crypto Radio. "Since we've launched, AI has taken some huge steps. Where it used to be just a language model, now we’re building applications on top of it."

Now operating from a robust web platform at chat.neurahub.app, Neurahub started as a Telegram mini-app before evolving into a full-fledged AI-powered ecosystem. It supports both fiat payments via Stripe and crypto transactions across nine chains, making it accessible to a diverse user base. By integrating multiple payment options, the platform ensures that users with varying technical expertise can engage with its AI tools without friction.

A journey of transformation from finance to crypto

David’s career began in the world of finance. “I actually started in finance when I was around 17 or 18, straight out of sixth form in the UK, and worked all the way from post room up into trade execution, trade support.” This early exposure gave him a strong foundation in business fundamentals and an eye for financial discipline.

After leaving finance in his early 20s, David embarked on a 12-year stint as a music producer—a period he describes as “pretty crazy, to be honest.” The experience taught him the importance of building an audience from scratch and harnessing the power of networking, skills that would later prove invaluable in the crypto world.

When fatherhood called, David returned to the workforce, shifting his focus to technology. He spent seven years at Ocado Technology in AI and automation, leaving just before launching Neurahub. His diverse background now fuels his vision for a platform that unites creative technology with decentralized finance.

"I think a lot of crypto is kind of like a networking game," he said. "Before, where we used to go to gigs to meet DJs, it's hackathons now to meet people with a similar interest."

Bridging AI and web3

Neurahub officially launched its token in March last year, marking the beginning of an ambitious journey. The project emerged from David’s close connections with like-minded innovators, with whom he shared a relentless drive for the next great idea. Their collective vision was to harness in-house talent to create a platform that delivers tangible outcomes.

The startup was born on the premise of using AI models to produce the right outputs. “We believe that if you can get all of the right skills in house, then you can make things happen,” David explained, emphasizing the importance of a cohesive team. This approach has allowed Neurahub to carve out a niche in both AI and crypto.

Neurahub’s expansion from a Telegram mini-app to a full-scale platform also reflects its commitment to accessibility and innovation. By supporting multiple payment methods, it ensures users from different backgrounds can tap into its AI-powered features without technical barriers.

Pioneering multi-modal AI: The future of innovation

At its core, Neurahub redefines what it means to be a multi-modal AI application. The platform’s design allows users to engage with a variety of agents within a single chat interface—each dedicated to distinct tasks. This integration ensures that a single prompt can trigger diverse functionalities ranging from image creation to application development.

Underneath its sleek chat window, Neurahub’s design seamlessly engages around 10 to 11 different agents, each dedicated to a unique function. This integrated approach not only streamlines the creative process but also redefines how users interact with AI, making the entire experience both powerful and effortlessly cohesive.

The platform also supports multi-step processes. As David puts it, users can string together commands—“I want an app, I want a picture, I want an image, and then I want you to tell me the weather and the Neurahub price, you know?”—allowing for a seamless, conversational workflow that maximizes efficiency. This capability is central to Neurahub’s promise of transforming creative processes.

"A lot of integrations along the way, a big application coming very, very soon, and then we're just going to keep going," he teased, hinting at exciting integrations such as music and voice activation on the horizon.

Neurahub’s continuous evolution signals a bold future where AI and blockchain converge to empower creators. With upcoming application layers and integrations, the platform is set to lead the next wave of innovation in both AI and web3.
